Jordan’s Story

My background is not that of an athlete. In fact I can say that I grew up pretty sedentary. Sure I played the occasional youth ­league soccer, baseball, and football. But I was always the big kid. In high school I lost a lot of weight by doing a fad diet, but I gained all that weight back in college. Then in college I lost a lot of weight, but after graduating I slowly and surely gained all that weight back as well. It wasn’t until I found Metabolic CrossFit that I discovered the secret for me to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. That secret ingredient is fun!

I find that every WOD that’s offered at Meatabolic CrossFit has with it challenge, intensity, but most importantly fun. Sure there are times that I ask myself, “Why am I doing this?” But then I feel and see the results. And I don’t just mean weight loss. I mean lifting heavier weight, running farther distance, running a quicker pace, doing more reps, achieving a movement that I never have been physically able to do before.

For me CrossFit is not some fad. It’s not some short­term effort that I’m using to lose weight. CrossFit has open the door for me to see what a healthy lifestyle is. CrossFit is about being the most fit me that I can be. If it wasn’t for the coaches and everyone involved at Metabolic CrossFit there’s no way that I would be the most fit me that I am. And I can confidently say that. At this moment I am the most fit I have ever been. I’ve been at Metabolic CrossFit for only 11 months. And in these 11 months my life has been changed. I’ve lost a hundred pounds. I’m learning what it means to eat healthy. I’m gaining more confidence and self­worth day by day. I am becoming the athlete I never was. ­
